The location of this property was perfect. The comfortable setting made us feel right at home. We would love to stay there again!

As a group of four adults (one couple and two single adults), this was our seventh summer renting vacation homes in Duck. Upon arrival to the Odd Duck Inn, we were surprised to find the third of three bedrooms was in fact an open-air, non-private space outside a full bedroom with unsuitable mattresses for adult sleeping. As a result, we did need to secure alternative lodging for one adult in our group. Todd issued a 10% discount for the inconvenience, has updated the VRBO description to reflect the sleeping arrangements more accurately, and indicated a new mattress for the double bunk bed is on order. If you are only in need of two private bedrooms with additional bunk beds, then this rental will work for you. The kitchen is well stocked, the screened in porch is lovely, the two private bedrooms are comfortable, and it is a short easy walk to the beach.

We are a family of 5 plus two dogs and we just got back from a wonderful stay at the Odd Duck Inn. We had the perfect OBX week. The cottage was cozy, clean, and charming. The beach was a 3 minute walk and we were centrally located to so many great things to do. Todd was responsive, easy to work with, and the check in/check out directions were crystal clear. We had a wonderful vacation!

We loved this house and hated to leave! It was more adorable in real life! Very handy outside shower (wash the dogs!) We grilled everyday and had a lobster feast to honor New England style. Lovely screened in porch& decks. We loved this neighborhood. Played tennis at Pine Island, 10 minutes down the road. People are so friendly! Ocean was warm, beach around the corner! We will return.

The only concern was the neighbors across the road with so many vehicles and the dog although contained did make us a little uncomfortable. The mattresses could be updated. The location was great though.

Nice quaint cottage, fun decor great location for the beach and the town of Duck.

Beautiful beach home with all you would need. Not over the top or showy but perfect for quiet relaxation and fun. The screened in porch was a perfect hangout spot with a table for dining and a porch swing. Short walk to a wonderful private beach. We loved every minute of our stay at the Odd Duck Inn!

Great location and owner was great to work with.

Perfect walk to the beach and the bay. House was super clean and the perfect lay out for my family (husband and 2 kids under 6). Very close to all the shops in Duck that we hiked to a few times. Also a nice drive up to Corolla as well.

The Odd Duck In was perfect for our family of four. The house was immaculate and well stocked with the essentials. Our favorite part was the screened in porch and the kids loved the pirate themed bunk bed. Todd was super helpful with our questions and checkin was a breeze. Would definitely stay here again.

Close walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood with everything you need for a great week at the beach.

Have stayed at this home many times! Love the shaded screened porch

Much-loved beach cottage - very helpful host.

Pros Kitchen well equipped Close proximity to beach Outdoor shower a plus Internet good Great restaurants nearby….close to town Great neighborhood…..friendly people Pet friendly Cons No cable….didn’t really need while on vacation….except at night Cobwebs in lamps in bedroom Spiders….lots on back porch ceiling at check-in ….sprayed with Labeled solution on top of frig…..then subsided after 2days Bathroom…..loaded with small black ants around sick. Under control after 3 days with liquid ant trap Neighbor across street…had septic issues…. Front yard on the rental property was flooded for 3 days….could not use. Did not want to use after it dried up. Septic pumper truck came Friday afternoon Neighbor on corner really flooded most of week….smelled like sewer. Not pleasant to walk to beach

We loved our stay at the Odd Duck Inn! The location is AMAZING! Great neighborhood! The beach access is just a two minute walk down the road. There is so much to do within short drive or bike ride. There were alot of bugs and spiders, mostly outside. Honestly had a 10/10 vacation in Duck!

Our small family had a very nice and relaxing time here. It rained most of the week so part of the front lawn/road was flooded, but the house had all the necessities and comforts we needed. It's a very short walk to the beach and short drive to main Duck restaurants/shops/attractions. Owners are very responsive and neighbors very friendly. We hope to be back again.

Very pleasant house!

Everything was great, kids loved we were so close to the beach. Enjoyed playing ping pong while at the house. The porch was a favorite hangout.

Our family really enjoyed the odd duck inn! The house was in a great quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach. A wonderful kitchen, large screen porch with swing, and comfortable living spaces. It was a perfect size house and a great layout for our family group. The host was very easy to get in contact with and eager to help out in any way. We had a few small hiccups with the cleaning service when we checked in, but Todd was so helpful and quickly got things in order.

Three generations of us stayed at the Odd Duck Inn ( 4 adults, 2 children) for 6 days over Memorial Day.. We loved the house and location!! The house was large enough for us to spread out over two floors and had everything we could possible need - games, puzzles, pingpong, corn hole, well equipped kitchen complete with spices and herbs and some condiments in the fridge and even coffee to get us started. We loved the screened in porch with sea and sound breezes, the upstairs open deck and the little front deck which was perfect for moon watching. The beach was a short walk and the host provided beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards which made hours on the beach comfortable. Todd was incredibly responsive to our questions and very flexible and friendly. The village of Duck was just a short car ride away with great restaurants and shops . Weekend traffic was heavy so we did our Outer Banks attractions on the weekdays which was a good tip from Todd, the owner. This is not a fancy place but attractive, homey and completely comfortable and we would definitely choose the Odd Duck Inn again!

Comfortable house, quiet neighborhood, easy walk to beach. House was as advertised with the exception of old windows that were challenging to open (owner was responsive and said windows are going to be replaced). We spent many hours on the screened in porch- perfect for reading. The neighbors were nice. Also be advised that the roads in Sound Sea Village are gravel.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful and comfortable small beach cottage. It is the ideal size place for our small family of four (2 adults, 2 young children and 1 dog). It is a short walk to the beach and an easy 5 min drive to the town and boardwalk area in Duck. The yard and quiet neighborhood are so pretty and peaceful. Great morning sunlight in every room and stargazing on the roof deck at night. The screened in porch, outdoor shower, and upstairs sun deck really make this place the whole package. New beach chairs and kids beach toys were an added bonus that we really appreciated. Thank you Todd and Robin for sharing this gem with us! We hope to return again soon.

Enjoyed the sound of the ocean, cool breezes leftover from Hurricane Sally and the great outdoor porches.

My family really enjoyed our stay at the Odd Duck. Great location and well-equipped, quaint cottage proved ideal for our gang, including our pups. Hope to return!

This was my family and I's third time stay at the odd duck inn, we always come back because we enjoy the location. Quite walk to the beach, far enough from the road so you don't hear cars driving by, friendly neighbors, short drive too the board walk overall a great place to stay! Our favorite spot is the porch it's the perfect spot to chill after a day at the beach. Todd is a friendly guy and reached out often before our trip to make sure we would have everything we needed for our stay. The lock box was a little difficult too open but nothing we couldn't manage. We also couldn't get the TV in the up stairs bedroom too work but that gave us a reason to enjoy our time together as a family a little more. I highly recommend booking this location for your next vacation - The Allen Family

Very sweet bungalow with some nice touches. Porch was our favorite place to hang out.

The porch was a great spot to hang out! The house is cute, location was close to the beach. Plenty of room and the a/c worked very well. Outdoor shower was roomy!

Overall, it was a misrepresentation on several levels. Trying to open the weathered and old lock box to retrieve house keys was frustrating. Really, a new one is not THAT expensive. Cleanliness was a problem, it didn't appear the upstairs was vacuumed as I found clothing under the bed. Upstairs shades were in sad shape. One badly torn, one ripped, one unable to close and not able to release to open. The tv's s were Not conventional , in fact the App!e TV did not have live coverage for news, weather or sports. Instructions useless. Upstairs tv was just as complicated. We wanted a gas grill, instead an old state park charcoal grill is the option, and for 2 people a hassle to fire up. Beach chairs were sand chairs, VERY difficult to get up, especially with bad backs, knees or other problems renters may have. A ceiling fan on the enclosed porch would have been good, considering the hi heat and humidity. On a good note the smoke detector/carbon monoxide detector is new, because it died while we we there. We brought our own pillows, thankfully, theirs needed to be repaced/cleaned,, and our own spreads. If your car is small and cannot hold a gas grill, nice pillows/spreads, another way to watch live, local tv, then this rental will not be a good fit for you.

Todd was great to work with! The house was exactly as advertised and shown in the photos. Cute details everywhere you look. The size was perfect for our group of 2 adults and 5 kids. A short 5 minute walk to the beach. We ate every meal in the large sunroom, which was lovely. We would definitely come back!

This was our fourth stay in this relaxing beach house and it was truly a welcome restful retreat in what has been for us a stressful year. The house is easy to live in, practical in its layout, well-supplied, and a reasonable walk to the beach. The owners are very responsive to any questions we might have. The whole family looks forward to this getaway and we are already looking forward to next year.
